Page One: Inside the New York Times
All the news that's print to fit
What, then, is journalism? According to famed reporter Carl Bernstein it's the "best attainable version of the truth." In order to accomplish that already qualified statement (the key word "version"—like passing a story verbally down a line of kids—suggests that the complete truth will never fit the necessarily limited space of print in particular and other media in general, not to mention the "succinctness" of tweeting ideas and thoughts in just 124 characters or debate by sound bite), former owner of the Tribune Company, Samuel Zell, opined "I want to make enough money so I can afford you [journalists]." That mantra and some bonus-laden buds who knew precious little about the newspaper business managed to send the media empire into bankruptcy protection.
Filmmaker Andrew Rossi has cobbled together a largely well-balanced examination of America's "paper of record" and produced a multilayered look into the precarious state of print journalism in today's social-media-driven world. He is aided and abetted by many of the New York Times' journalists and editors as they go about the business of deciding just what will be "fit to print" in the famed daily's multiple editions. Chief amongst those is intrepid reporter David Carr. The former drug addict takes no prisoners when conducting interviews that can result in threats of legal action: the closer he gets to the truth, the more likely the chance for a kill-the-story order rather than face litigation. In the piece chronicled here, the threat (from The Tribune Company) fails to have its effect and the publication of the salacious details that are part and parcel of the media organization's demise leave the court calendar clear and the principal grip-and-grin salesman looking for a new company to fleece.
But there are also two major examples of "physician heal thyself" recounted for the record. Judith Miller's damning columns warning of Saddam Hussein's Weapons of Mass Destruction had their effect, causing millions to "cheerlead our way to Iraq." To her credit, Miller does admit that she was wrong, but only because her sources were. More recently (2003), the plagiarism scandal surrounding Jayson Blair was another serious hit to the credibility beat of the storied publication.
In the current era of instant journalists on the Internet and a steep decline in print advertising revenue, many papers are fighting back—somehow: the business model has yet to be perfected—by embracing new media on the struggle to keep balance sheets near the black. Brian Stelter made the reverse cross-over, abandoning his blog to write about all things digital media for the paper whose stock price has been in the same range as the price of the mammoth Sunday edition.
Survival at any cost (financial or reputation) has spawned unlikely partnerships such as CNN with VICE Media (all the better to get viewers under 49) and WikiLeaks with The Times. Julian Assange's first batch (concertedly leaked/published in two other newspapers) caught the attention of the Pentagon and the circulation management team. The subsequent barrage of diplomatic cable leaks was justified by senior editors: "The people had a right to know just how their government operates." Yet the fascinating question as to whether or not WikiLeaks could be classified as a "source" is never fully resolved.
Retrospectively, the infamous release in 1971 of the Pentagon Papers by The Times reminds everyone that there is nothing new under the publication sun. Still, that whole affair took 22 months from leak to print where today's latest documented transgressions can be on YouTube et al before the ink gets dry.
Winning several 2010 Pulitzer Prizes for Journalism appears to be executive editor Bill Keller's last hurrah before handing over the position to Jill Abramson. Those wanting to get their NYT fix online will now have to pay for the privilege of digesting "all the news that's fit to print." Yet with diminished resources (laying off 100 staff in 2009 is one of the film's telling moments) and an uneven past in ensuring the articles that do see the light of day at least fit Bernstein's simple standard, the future seems as challenging as ever. Happily, more scandalous acts and unneeded wars will arise to not only fit the bill of truth telling but also pay a few. JWR

Tax Fairness 'in the Eye of the Beholder' - Hockey
Australia's tax system must be redesigned and strengthened so that people contribute to the cost of services according to their ability to pay, claims welfare peak body, the Australian Council of Social Service.
Xavier Smerdon | 30 March 2015 at 4:04 pm
In hosting Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey as he launched a new discussion paper on tax reform, ACOSS CEO Cassandra Goldie said she recognised that there was a public budget problem but she wanted to see solutions that don't impose the greatest burden on the least well off.
"Instead of searching for Budget savings in community services, charging more for doctor's visits, denying young people income support for six months, or reducing the future value of pensions, Governments should clean out the 'hollow logs' in our tax system," Goldie said.
"It is too easy for people with high incomes to avoid paying their fair share of tax through devices such as negative gearing and private trusts, for some international companies to artificially shift their profits elsewhere, and for retired people with substantial assets to churn their income through their super accounts to reduce tax.
"If too many people play the tax avoidance 'game' then either tax rates will have to rise or essential services will wither on the vine."
But Treasurer, Joe Hockey said at the launch of the White Paper, entitled Re:think, Better tax, Better Australia, that a small percentage of wealthy Australians were already carrying a disproportionate tax burden.
"Two per cent of taxpayers pay 26 per cent of personal income tax. Two per cent. I'm not saying they should be taxed more or less but I tell you what, I bet they think should be paying less tax," Hockey said.
"Fairness is about ensuring that we have a well funded safety net, not just today but into the future. The trajectory of spending was to well over a third of GDP but the tax collected only ever equated to around a quarter of GDP. So clearly we were never going to get the point where we lived within our means.
"We have to accept responsibility at some point and if you want to have a well funded national disability insurance scheme, which is not fully funded at the moment, if you want to have a welfare system that is sustainable, which is not fully funded at the moment, if you want to have an education system that is going to give people the best opportunity to prepare for work, and it's not fully funded at the moment, then the question is how do we fully fund it.
"Fairness is in the eye of the beholder and this is where I want people to think a bit more deeply about things."
The White Paper found that Australia has a relatively low tax burden compared to other wealthy countries with it ranking as the seventh-lowest taxing country in the OECD.
But despite this Hockey said that the Government should lower taxes to make Australia more competitive.
"Australia can't risk falling behind. Many of Australia's international competitors are changing their tax systems to make them more competitive," he said.
"The Government must build a tax system that delivers taxes that are lower, simpler and fairer.
"The community's responses will inform the Government's tax options Green Paper, due to be released in the second half of 2015. The Government will seek further feedback on those options before putting forward policy proposals for consideration by the Australian people in 2016."
Anglicare Australia Executive Director, Kasy Chambers, said discussion should be around the shape of the society we are trying to build, which is about fairness, opportunity and inclusion.
"We should be looking for the best way to fund public investment to make our society stronger and healthier," Chambers said.
"It is too easy for this debate to sink to the level of competing self-interests motivated only by the desire to pay less tax.
"It seems we are demonising the most disadvantaged and vulnerable people rather than looking for ways to give them a stake in a more vital and inclusive society.
"Anglicare Australia sees the Government's Re:think process as an opportunity to have public debate about what is important to us. A fair and simple tax system, which it calls for, is simply a means to an end."
Cassandra Goldie said the starting point for tax reform should be to strengthen the fairest taxes, especially taxes on income, and to make them more efficient.
"Too many investment decisions are made for tax reasons and that's one of the reasons we have over-investment in housing that drives costs up for everyone," she said.
"Tax reform must not be reduced to a narrow argument over increasing taxes on consumption such as the GST. This would concentrate the risks of reform on those least able to bear them: people on low incomes. A tax on bank deposits is a consumption tax since it will be passed on to consumers, just as the former State Government bank deposit taxes were. We should not start the process by ruling things out."
Submissions and suggestions on the discussion paper can be made at the website bettertax.gov.au until 1 June 2015.

https://dissidentvoice.org/2020/01/outrage-as-controversial-indian-mining-company-opens-tribal-school/#more-100466
A controversial Indian mining company whose operations threaten lands, forests and sacred sites vital to thousands of tribal families has opened a residential school for tribal children in Odisha, India in an effort to "transform" them.
Adani, a $13billion corporation, is embroiled in controversy in India and Australia. In India its coal mines threaten the forests and livelihoods of thousands of Gond, Santhal and Munda tribespeople.
Its new school for tribal children is a partnership with KISS (the Kalinga Institute for Social Sciences), whose existing school for 27,000 tribal children in Odisha is the largest tribal residential school in the world. KISS boasts that the institution turns "tax consumers into tax payers, liabilities into assets."
Survival International has recently launched a campaign against these kinds of "Factory Schools," which practice systematic cultural erasure masquerading as education, and which teach tribal children to feel ashamed of who they are and where they come from.
In a statement to mark the opening of the new school, Dr. Priti Adani, wife of Adani's founder Gautam Adani, spoke of the need for "social transformation" of tribal children.
Tribal rights activist Soni Sori © Survival
The Indian tribal rights activist Soni Sori says: "We resist this kind of education, whoever it comes from - Adani or anyone. They give their kind of education because they want our children to hate jungles. They want our children to hate their own culture. They want to create distance between children and parents."
Survival International's Dr. Jo Woodman said today: "The agenda behind this school is clear: Adani wants tribal lands, and tribal resistance is a major thorn in their sides. This school is a brazen and shameless attempt to 'reprogram' a generation of tribal children to see mining as 'good' and their spiritual and cultural connections to their land as 'bad' or 'backwards.' For KISS to partner so closely with a company so notorious on issues of indigenous rights in both India and Australia shows their true colors."
Survival International, founded in 1969 after an article by Norman Lewis in the UK's Sunday Times highlighted the massacres, land thefts and genocide taking place in Brazilian Amazonia, is the only international organization supporting tribal peoples worldwide.

It was 1978, the summer of 78, when I turned 15. It was that summer that Walter Hill would shoot his third film, "The Warriors", on location in the five boroughs of New York, with an unknown cast of young actors, and real-life gang members as extras. The idea was to make a film on street gangs that was both gritty and realistic, without passing moral judgment. Show it the way it was that sweltering summer, New York with record high homicide rates, a powder keg ready to explode. The film would depict the perilous journey eight gang youths would make, back to their own hood, after attending an outdoor gang summit. It was only Walter Hill's third film as director, and he himself expressed self-doubt as his second film, The Driver, bombed at the box office when shooting began on The Warriors. Hill wasn't sure there would be a future for him as a filmmaker, not in the Hollywood studio system, where you are only as good as your last movie. Of course, both The Driver and The Warriors would become cult classics later, but Hill had no guarantee back then. He wasn't sure he was going to last, so he wanted to get his licks in when he directed The Warriors. It was his last chance to prove himself. Hill shot most of the film The Warriors at night, in the precious few early morning hours when it was still relatively dark. It is a night movie, full of unforgettable images. Luckily, Walter Hill was fast, for the film production posed problems, worrisome run-ins with local gangs and hostile, local residents. A gang adviser was hired and local street gangs were paid off, so the crew would be left alone while working on their turf. The Warriors opened to rave reviews in February 1979, but incited gang riots, and saw both a fatal shooting and a fatal stabbing at separate screenings. Paramount got cold feet, and decided to pull the film. But with the passage of time, both the Driver and The Warriors grew in people's esteem and are recognized as cult classics today. When my friend and I saw the film in Tokyo later on in 1979, we knew it was something special, and we ended up seeing it twice, relishing every memorable line of dialogue, and laughing at the famous clanging coke bottles scene at the end, "Warriors... come out to play-ay!" Over and over, the beckoning voice rising to ever more hysterical levels, delightfully shrill and very, very funny.

Don't forget his first film, Hard Times. One of Bronson's best - and definitely better than The Warriors. The Long Riders is one of the better '80s westerns and 48 Hours is something of a classic. I jump ship after that.
Oh, I like him a LOT better than you guys do.
I think he's like John Carpenter or DePalma - the movies ain't always great but oh, the clips!
that pick-axe fight in "streets of fire" is amazing!
Vai as the Devil's guitar-slinger. Great!

A Man, a Plan, a Steam Room
Outside reviews editor Jeremy Rellosa needed something—anything—to cure his winter COVID blues. Then he remembered the rather dank steam room in the magazine's office, which had briefly become a sanctuary for him before the pandemic. Digging into research on heat therapies, he learned that the popular Finnish wellness routine of going back and forth between hot and cold could dispel seasonal depression. Thus began a purposely discomforting journey, one that offers lessons for all of us on how to build fortitude, resilience, and even happiness in dark times.

Who Killed the Ski Bum?
It's been one of the most enduring archetypes in mountain sports: that great wintry countercultural hero, who will work any job and live in squalor so long as they can ski 100-plus days a season. But now, after decades of inspiring people everywhere to chase their powder dreams, the ski bum has at last been extinguished by… well, that's the question. Was it the crazy cost of mountain-town housing? The corporatization of the ski industry? No, wait! Of course—it was the Man. Or, just maybe, has the ski bum actually survived it all and taken on a surprising new form?

Photographer Wyn Wiley, who moonlights as drag queen Pattie Gonia , was living in Nebraska and dreaming of making a move. The most obvious choice was a big city, where queer people often go find their community. But then a group called Out Central Oregon invited Wiley to Bend to host an event on Mount Bachelor called Winter Pride Fest. What they found in Bend was much more than a seasonal party: here was a place with a highly visible queer community. This, Wiley decided, is the place for me and my go-go boots.

Forces of Good: Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament is on a Mission to Build Havens for Young Skateboarders
In recent years, rock-star bassist Jeff Ament has dedicated himself to developing world-class skateboarding parks in the rural American West, particularly in his home state of Montana. For him, the point isn't just to create concrete playgrounds so kids have somewhere to rip: he wants to give young people in small towns similar to the one he grew up in a place to gather and build community. This is desperately needed. America's youth are facing a mental health crisis that was in the making long before the pandemic caused depression and anxiety to spike. What kids in small towns could use now more than ever is real-life human connection—and as Ament tells it, this happens best in a space that they can call their own.

Lo Phong La Kiatoukaysy, a.k.a.

In many ways, his whole life has been an ongoing journey. His parents fled the violence of the Vietnam War while his mother was pregnant with him, eventually immigrating to the United States and settling in Kansas. When he was a boy, his family took regular trips to the mountains of the West, where Kiatoukaysy fell in love with the outdoors. As a young adult, he was working near the World Trade Center during the 9/11 attacks. Soon after, he left the city with a vision of building community among thru-hikers on America's great trails.

Man arrested after 4ft crocodile and 23 snakes found during drug raid in Westcliff
Seven of the snakes found were dead when officers searched the property
Tommy WathenEngagement Producer
A four foot caiman crocodile and 16 snakes have been found at a property in Westcliff as part of a drugs investigation.
On Wednesday (January 24), a man from Basildon was arrested in connection with an ongoing investigation into a cannabis factory that was found at an industrial unit in Cranes Farm Road, Basildon, in November 2015.
Police increasingly concerned for the welfare of missing Basildon boy who hasn't been seen for five days
During the initial search of the premises in 2016, a number of reptiles - including snakes, toads and spiders - were found to be living in extremely poor conditions.
Following on from Wednesday's arrest, officers searched a property in Burdett Avenue, Westcliff and found more exotic animals.
Dangerous Wild Animals (general conditions):
Southend-on-Sea Borough Council's website offers these details on the rules when keeping dangerous animals WITH a licence:
1. While any animal is being kept under the authority of the Licence:
i) the animal shall be kept by no person other than the person or persons specified above
ii) the animal shall normally be held at such premises as are specified above
iii) the animal shall not be moved from those premises (except as detailed)
iv) the person to whom the Licence is granted shall hold a current insurance policy which insures him and any other person entitled to keep the animal under the authority of the Licence against liability for any damage which may be caused by the animal, the terms of such policy being satisfactory in the opinion of the authority.
2. The species and number of animals of each species which may be kept under the authority of the Licence shall be as detailed in the Schedule.
3. The person to whom the Licence is granted shall at all reasonable times make available a copy of the Licence to any person entitled to keep any animal under the Authority of the Licence.
4. The licensed animals shall be kept in a locked enclosure at all times.
5. Specific conditions for the premises and licenced animals Any specific conditions for an animal will be detailed here.
In the bedroom, the police found a 4ft caiman crocodile and 16 living snakes, of which nine are classed as dangerous wild animals.
Some of the species found in the bedroom were cobras, copperheads, pythons, a Madagascan giant hognose snake and a scorpion.
The RSPCA have not confirmed whether the crocodile that was found is a caiman crocodile (Image: Essex Police)
Seven other snakes were found dead in the house.
Detective Inspector Steve Nelson, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "The reptiles were held in very poor conditions and sadly a number had died.
"We contacted the RSPCA, whose specialist handlers removed them from the house.
Snakes were found too (Image: Essex Police)
"Those that survived are now in the care of an RSPCA centre.
"We are working together with the charity as part of the investigation into how these wild animals came to be kept in such conditions.
"As officers we come across many different finds during our investigations and these are among the more unusual."
The animals were found to be living in poor condition (Image: Essex Police)
The 36-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of cannabis production, keeping a dangerous animal without a licence, and animal cruelty offences.
He has been released on bail until February 13.

Recently, I was asked to lecture at the University of British Columbia to a marketing class at the Sauder School of Business. I always try and say yes when I get invited to speak at universities or colleges: it's the best way to make sure the next generation of business leaders are not stuck using outdated demographic stereotypes as they take the reins from the generations that came before.
I wanted to try and help these students understand that no matter what new tools and channels come along (they've been coming and going since the dawn of technology…telex machines anyone?) if you understand the values of the people you are trying to communicate with you will be able to motivate them to do the things you'd like them to do. Why? Because what we value determines what we do.
On a personal note, this is probably one of my favourite presentations.
On a personal note, this is probably one of my favourite presentations. It's not the fanciest or flashiest venue I've ever talked in: the class was small and the setting was quite intimate. I guess that's why I didn't feel it was necessary to come across as larger-than-life, which you sometimes do when you are on stage talking to 1000 people in a ballroom the size of a football field. When I first saw this video it felt good: in a comfy, casual, friendly, honest kind of way. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Have a look. This particular edit is just the best bits from the lecture, the "greatest-hits reel" if you want to think of it that way.
And as always, please share. I've been thinking a lot lately about how much good this research could do in the world, and while I'm working on ways to make it more readily and freely accessible using the latest in technology, your help in spreading the word is so very much appreciated. Thank you.

Lake Talk.
November 9, 2015 by languagehat 15 Comments
The New England Historical Society features "Nonantum, the New England Town With Its Own Special Language" (based on Erica Noonan's 2001 Boston Globe story "In Newton, they still speak the language of the lake"):
No matter where Nonantum natives go, they can tell someone is from their village when they hear them speak Lake Talk. Lake Talk is the unique argot of Nonantum, one of the 13 villages of Newton, Mass. Unintelligible to outsiders, it binds tighter the already close-knit Italian-American community.
According to Lake Talk, a mush (pronounced moosh) is a man, a jival is a girl, and a quister jival (quis-tah jiv-il) is a pretty girl.
Author Brenda Spalding grew up in Nonantum, and explains where Lake Talk came from:
In the 1930's and 40's the traveling gypsy carnivals came through the area and the locals would work for them. One thing that remained is the language of the carnivals and it's still in use today.
Lake Talk is a mix of Italian, Romany and English slang.
I always enjoy this sort of local jargon, and I can't help but notice the similarity between mush 'man' and Russian муж [muzh] 'man.
Pancho says
"a quister jival (quis-tah jiv-il) is a pretty girl."
Is "jival" related to English "chav" and Spanish "chavalo" and "chavo"?
'Mush' meaning 'man' is definitely a part of Angloromani. The etymology from the OED: Probably < Angloromani mush man (1863 as moosh in B. C. Smart Dial. Eng. Gypsies; compare Welsh Romani mūrš ) < Romani murš , by metathesis and dissimilation (compare Greek nomadic Romani mruš ) < Sanskrit manuṣya human being, man.
chabby in Lake Talk and English chav are usually supposed to be from Angloromani čhavo, which might in turn be related to words like Marathi छावा 'cub'. These are male offspring.
jival in turn is Angloromani džuvli, presumably related to Skt. युवति 'young woman'.
zaelic says
Back in the day I lived in Brighton, Mass with some friends from Newton who used "mush" a lot. Their explanation was that it meant somebody who had attended one of the high schools of south Newton, Mass. It was also used by some folks from East Somerville. Both neighborhoods were home to networks of Romanichals – English Gypsies – until the second World War. These were the horse stable and carriage house districts of Boston, a trade monopolized by Romanichal as long as horses were still a viable mode of transport.
martinb says
"Oy, mush!" as a rather abrupt way of getting someone's attention is perfectly understandable to most BrE speakers.
As Matthew says, 'Mush' is common in BrEn, but not so much as a noun, rather a form of address, a bit aggressive or diminishing maybe. "Look, mush, your
The way you describe Lake Talk sounds a lot like Polari, gay London slang, also with its roots in a mix of Yiddish, Italian, and Roma/traveller.
David L says
To add to what martinb and Will said, "mush" in British usage refers exclusively to men (in my recollection, anyway) and is associated with your East London banter, which would reinforce the Roma connection, I think. And I agree with Will that it's a somewhat hostile term.
Oh, and it rhymes with 'push' not 'slush'
Paul Ogden says
The cry "Mush, you huskies," as often heard on the 1950s TV show Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, comes from French "marche," walk, go, akin to English march.
To confirm (and extend) David L and at the risk of coming over all mushy…
Both of my parents (born East End of London, 1930s) used the term "mush" with a certain frequency, and often with the hostile, or jokingly hostile, intent explained above. But Dad was also prone to using it in an intimate or affectionate way not reflected in the OED, e.g. during the late stages of Mum's Alzheimer's, he might give her a light tap on the arm and say "Come on mush, it's time for bed". It was also one of his many terms of address for children, a word he could use to console you after a sporting defeat ("Don't worry mush, we'll beat 'em next time") or coax you in some way (waking me on a dark winter morning when I was a kid with something like "Let's go mush, your breakfast's ready"). I don't think he ever used the word like this outside the home; I'm not sure about the representativeness of his usages.
The OED has a separate entry for 'mush' [mʌʃ] as a 19th century slang term for a cabbie which it says is simply a short form of 'mushroom'. Given the East London home of the cabbie and the later use of 'mush' [mʊʃ] as 'bloke' (for which it writes origin unknown) in roughly the same location, could there be some cross-fertilisation here or would the two different vowels rule this out ?
Graham Asher says
"I can't help but notice the similarity between mush 'man' and Russian муж [muzh] 'man." It's surely even closer than that – wouldn't Russian final devoicing make the two words practically identical?
Right, but that's kind of deceptive, since in the declined forms you hear the voiced zh.
Ian Preston says
The linked lexicon seems to have a fair number of Romani-derived words besides those mentioned explicitly. There's an online Angloromani dictionary and if you check it you repeatedly find the Lake Talk terms coming up. "Wonga" (money) and "minge" (vagina) are familiar Romani-origin BrE slang anyway. "Dikki" (see), "chor" (thief), "kori" (penis) and "suv" (have sex) are all there. "Yoggramangi" for gun is pretty close to "coramunga". "Divia" is not there for crazy (though the translations given do all begin with "di-") but the BrE slang term "divvy" was common in my youth in the Midlands and there are sites linking it to Romani.
ktschwarz says
Cross-reference to DIVAN: as of September 2022, the OED accepts the Romani origin of British slang "divvy".

Chemours: Chemistry That Connects a Crucial Link in the Domestic Semiconductor Supply Chain
Revitalizing the domestic semiconductor industry is an important goal that depends in part on a supply of U.S.-manufactured fluoropolymers.
Submitted by The Chemours Company
We all know that panicked feeling of reaching for your phone and not finding it where you expected and the immediate sense of relief when it's back in your hand. We take for granted that these conduits to everything will always be there.
The disruptions caused by the pandemic have made this clearer than ever. The last two years have starkly demonstrated just how exasperating inventory delays can be and just how fragile the supply chain for producing our phones — and laptops, cars, TVs, and countless other devices — really is. Almost everyone has experienced problems with critical goods becoming harder to find, more expensive to buy and slower to arrive.
We have heard the same explanation for the delays at the car dealership, at the mobile device store and from the media: the "chip shortage" meant a shortage of new phones, cars, TVs, and other technology. "Microchips," or semiconductors, are, of course, at the heart of most technology today. These brains of modern electronics are found not only in consumer appliances and electronics but also in military aircraft and defense systems, electric grids, and cutting-edge healthcare equipment. Semiconductors are core to U.S. national security and economic interests, yet 9 out of 10 of them are manufactured in China and other foreign countries, and they have been increasingly hard to come by as the pandemic has stretched on.
We are now in the midst of a push — led by domestic manufacturers and supported by the U.S. government — to make sure the semiconductors this country needs are manufactured here. As we regrow that manufacturing capability, Chemours' role in that process is indispensable, if not well known. We are a domestic producer of fluoropolymers, essential materials without which semiconductor manufacturing cannot securely be onshored. For one specific type of fluoropolymer, PFA, Chemours is the only domestic producer.
Semiconductors are core to U.S. national security and economic interests, yet a vast percentage of them are manufactured in China and other foreign countries.
A fluoropolymer is an organic molecule, the backbone of which is the carbon-fluorine bond, the most durable bond in chemistry. Fluoropolymers have unique combinations of attributes that make them highly resistant to corrosion, as they are unaffected by temperature, chemicals, fire, and weather, and they repel water and other substances.
Fluoropolymers are critical to semiconductor fabrication for a variety of reasons, including the sensitive environment in which semiconductors must be assembled and transported. Semiconductors are produced in highly controlled "clean rooms" by workers wearing head-to-toe protective equipment. The introduction of a single strand of hair or dust particle or even a fractional change in temperature or air quality during the manufacturing process can render the chips unusable. Semiconductor manufacturers use fluoropolymers to filter out very small particles from fluids during fabrication and to transport and store these fluids.
Chemours' PFA fluoropolymers specifically help prevent contamination by serving as the primary material used for the pipe, tubes, valves, pumps, vessels, and tank linings for critical pieces of the fabrication equipment.
Without this Chemours product, U.S. semiconductor manufacturers would be forced to rely on foreign substitutes where possible, creating significant supply chain disruption and risking domestic supply chain security.
Chemours is the only domestic producer of an essential material, without which semiconductor manufacturing cannot securely be onshored.
As America looks to strengthen its semiconductor supply chain, it's worth remembering a powerful lesson from the shortage that energized this effort: A single link can compromise an entire chain. Bringing semiconductor manufacturing to American shores requires securing and supporting the materials upon which they depend.
Just as "no semiconductors" has meant "no cars," so "no fluoropolymers" would mean "no semiconductors."
Critical Chemistries Delivered Responsibly
We are firm believers in the power of advanced chemistry to deliver cutting-edge solutions to industries critical to the United State's health, prosperity, and security. And at Chemours, we put science first and are driven by our commitment to responsible manufacturing – a responsibility for the environment and a responsibility to you. To us, that means setting ambitious corporate responsibility goals and applying investment, creativity, and energy to achieve them.
As part, Chemours is the first chemical manufacturing company to make a voluntary public commitment to eliminate at least 99% of fluorinated organic compound emissions to air and water from our manufacturing processes by 2030. We know of no other company that has made this public commitment.
The materials and products we create, including fluoropolymers, are already at work enabling transformative innovations like the onshoring of semiconductor manufacturing. And we're committed to ensuring that progress takes place in the best way possible for people and the planet.

Kadanuumuu (; nazwa katalogowa KSD-VP-1/1) – fragment liczącej 3,58 miliona lat skamieniałości hominida z gatunku Australopithecus afarensis odkrytej w Kotlinie Danakilskiej w Etiopii w 2005 przez zespół na czele z Yohannesem Haile-Selassie, kustoszem antropologii fizycznej Muzeum Historii Naturalnej w Cleveland. Analizy szkieletu wskazują, iż był to z całą pewnością gatunek poruszający się na dwóch kończynach.

Opis okazu
Przy wzroście ocenianym na około 153 cm, osobnik do którego należały szczątki Kadanuumuu był znacznie wyższy niż słynna Lucy należąca do tego samego gatunku, odkryta w latach siedemdziesiątych XX wieku. Żył też wcześniej od niej o około 400.000 lat. Łopatki Kadanuumuu są porównywalne do tych, które mają ludzie współcześni, co oznacza, iż był to raczej gatunek lądowy niż bytujący na drzewach. Jednakże nie wszyscy naukowcy zgadzają się z tym wnioskiem.

Shares of M&M Financial Services gained 3 percent on Thursday after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) lifted restrictions on recovery of loans through third-party agents, which the central bank placed on the company last year.
The lifting of restrictions followed submissions made by the company and its pledge to strengthen recovery practices and outsourcing arrangements while tightening the process of onboarding third-party agents and strengthening its accountability framework, the company said in a regulatory filing.
Following the update, the stock made a strong start to the trade at ₹236.95 apiece, compared to the previous closing price of ₹234.10, and rose further to hit an intra-day high of ₹241.15. At the current market price of ₹240.20, the stock is trading just 2.69 percent away from its 52-week high of ₹247.
On September 22, the RBI ordered the company to stop using third-party loan recovery services. The RBI action came after a 27-year-old pregnant lady was reportedly crushed to death in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh by a tractor being forcedly driven away by the company's recovery agent.
After the RBI announcement, the stock crashed 20 percent in just seven trading sessions. However, the stock has experienced a surge in buying since then and has gained nearly 36 percent to date.
The company had said the halt on vehicle recovery by third-party agencies would not "have any material impact" on its financials.
Over the last one year, the stock has delivered a fabulous return of 56 percent, climbing from ₹155 apiece to its current position of ₹240.

Meanwhile, in mid-October last year, the company announced a strategic partnership with India Post Payments Bank to enhance credit access for a larger customer base.
As a part of this alliance, India Post Payments Bank will provide lead referral services to Mahindra Finance for passenger vehicles, three-wheelers, tractors, and commercial vehicle loan categories and provide cash EMI deposit facility to existing Mahindra Finance customers at post offices.
For the September-ending quarter, the company reported a 55.39 percent drop in its consolidated net profit to ₹492 crore as against ₹1,103.8 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal.
However, sequentially, the net profit was up 104.93 percent. Revenue from operations increased by 2.64 percent to Rs. 3,029 crore during the quarter, compared to Rs. 2,950 crore in the corresponding quarter of the previous fiscal.
The net interest income stood at Rs. 1,540 crore, up 2 percent YoY. The net interest margin (NIM) came in healthy at 7.5 percent. In Q2 FY23, the company's loan book increased by 9 percent to ₹73,817 crore compared to Q1 FY23, aided by an increase in disbursements.

Some epidemiological considerations of scrub typhus (Rickettsia tsutsugamushi) in a natural focus in the Zambales mountains, Luzon, Republic of the Philippines
William Reisen, T. J. Pollard, W. J. Tardy
Reports of six cases of scrub typhus in USAF personnel at the 3614th Combat Crew Training Squadron, Clark Air Base, Philippines during the rainy seasons of 1969 and 1970 prompted an investigation into the scrub typhus potential of the field training area. R. tsutsugamushi was isolated from Rattus rattus mindanensis; two vector species, Leptotrombidium akamushi and L. deliense, were collected. The focus fulfilled all of the basic requirements for the natural maintenance of this disease.

Kos- Nisyros
Crater of a Volcano (132)
# Photos: 9 [View]
Countries visited: Greece
Kos or Cos (Greek: Κως) is a Greek island in the south Sporades group of the Dodecanese, next to the Gulf of Gökova/Cos. The island measures 40 kilometres (25 mi) by 8 kilometres (5.0 mi), and is 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the coast of Bodrum, Turkey, and the ancient region of Caria. The island forms a separate municipality within the Kos regional unit, which is part of the South Aegean region. The principal town of the island and seat of the municipality is Kos town. The island has a population of 30,947.
In the Roman mythology, the island was visited by Hercules.
The island was originally colonised by the Carians. A contingent from Kos participated in the War of Troy[5] The Dorians invaded it in the 11th century BC, establishing a Dorian colony with a large contingent of settlers from Epidaurus, whose Asclepius cult made their new home famous for its sanatoria. The other chief sources of the island's wealth lay in its wines and, in later days, in its silk manufacture.[
Its early history–as part of the religious-political amphictyony that included Lindos, Kamiros, Ialysos, Cnidus and Halicarnassus, the Dorian Hexapolis (Greek for six cities),[7]–is obscure. At the end of the 6th century, Kos fell under Achaemenid domination but rebelled after the Greek victory at Cape Mykale in 479. During the Greco-Persian Wars, when it twice expelled the Persians, it was ruled by tyrants, but as a rule it seems to have been under oligarchic government. In the 5th century, it joined the Delian League, and, after the revolt of Rhodes, it served as the chief Athenian station in the south-eastern Aegean (411–407). In 366 BC, a democracy was instituted. After helping to weaken Athenian power, in the Social War (357-355 BC), it fell for a few years to the king Mausolus of Caria. In 366 BC, the capital was transferred from Astypalaia to the newly built town of Kos, laid out in a Hippodamian grid.
Proximity to the east gave the island first access to imported silk thread. Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) mentions silk weaving conducted by the women of the island.Silk production of garments was conducted in large factories by women slaves.
In the Hellenistic age, Kos attained the zenith of its prosperity. Its alliance was valued by the kings of Egypt, who used it as a naval outpost to oversee the Aegean. As a seat of learning, it arose as a provincial branch of the museum of Alexandria, and became a favorite resort for the education of the princes of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Among its most famous sons were the physician Hippocrates, the painter Apelles, the poets Philitas and, perhaps, Theocritus.
Kos was also known as Meropis and Nymphæa. Diodorus Siculus (xv. 76) and Strabo (xiv. 657) describe it as a well-fortified port. Its position gave it a high importance in Ægean trade; while the island itself was rich in wines of considerable fame (Pliny, xxxv. 46). Under Alexander III of Macedon and the Egyptian Ptolemies(from 336 B.C.) the town developed into one of the great centers in the Ægean; Josephus ("Ant." xiv. 7, § 2) quotes Strabo to the effect that Mithridates was sent to Kos to fetch the gold deposited there by the queen Cleopatra of Egypt. Herod is said to have provided an annual stipend for the benefit of prize-winners in the athletic games (Josephus, "B. J." i. 21, § 11), and a statue was erected there to his son Herod the Tetrarch ("C. I. G." 2502 ). Paul briefly visited here according to (Acts 21:1).
Except for occasional incursions by corsairs and some severe earthquakes, the island has rarely had its peace disturbed. Following the lead of its great neighbour, Rhodes, Kos generally displayed a friendly attitude toward the Romans; in 53 AD it was made a free city. Lucian (125–180) mentions their manufacture of semi-transparent light dresses, a fashion success.
The island was later conquered by the Venetians, who then sold it to the Knights Hospitaller of Rhodes (the Knights of St John) in 1315. Two hundred years later the Knights faced the threat of a Turkish invasion and abandoned the island to the Ottoman Empire in 1523. The Ottomans ruled Kos for 400 years until it was transferred to Italy in 1912. In World War II, the island was taken over by the Axis powers. It was occupied by Italian troops until the Italian surrender in 1943. British and German forces then clashed for control of the island in the Battle of Kos, in which the Germans were victorious. German troops occupied the island until 1945, when it became a protectorate of the United Kingdom, who ceded it to Greece in 1947.
Nisyros (Greek: Νίσυρος) is a volcanic Greek island and municipality located in the Aegean Sea. It is part of the Dodecanese group of islands, situated between the islands of Kos and Tilos. Its shape is approximately round, with a diameter of about 8 km (5 mi), and an area of 41.6 km2 (16.062 sq mi).[4] Several other islets are found in the direct vicinity of Nisyros, the largest of which is Gyali. The Municipality of Nisyros includes Gyalí (pop. 10) as well as uninhabited Pacheiá, Pergoússa, Kandelioússa, Ágios Antónios, and Stroggýli. It has a total land area of 50.055 km2 (19.326 sq mi) and a total population of 948 inhabitants.
The island has a 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) wide caldera, and was constructed within the past 150,000 years, with 3 separate eruptive stages, ranging from explosive and effusive andesitic eruptions to effusive and extrusive dacitic and rhyolitic activity.Its coasts are generally rocky or pebbled, but there are also a few sandy beaches (mainly in the northeastern part). The volcano is currently active (but not erupting), and fumaroles are found at the craters.[2] It has had four historical eruptions, all of which had a VEI of 2. Almost all of its eruptions involved phreatic activity.The latest eruptive activity was a steam explosion in 1888,[2] after small ash eruptions in 1871 and 1873 and earthquakes are not infrequent. A period of seismic unrest in 1996–1997 led an international team of scientist to initiate monitoring of the volcanic unrest in the European Union sponsored Geowarn project. The entire volcanic complex includes the seafloor between Nisyros and Kos, the island of Gyali, and a part of Kos island.
The island is reachable by ship from Piraeus and Kos, and in summer, there are many daily trips from the village of Kardamena on Kos. There is also a heliport. The main town and port of the island is Mandraki (pop. 682)(hole). Other villages are Paloi (167), Nikeia (48), and Emporios (25). According to a 2001 census, the municipality's resident population is 948 (including 10 on Gyali), although in summer it is augmented by many tourists as well as expatriate Nisyrians who visit the island for their vacations. Tourism is not so heavily developed as on other Greek islands. Deposits of perlite and pumice on Gyali provide much of the wealth of the island. The island used to be self-sufficient, and many crops were grown on its terraced slopes. Today, though, they are cultivated on a smaller scale.

Northeastern's commitment to the men and women who serve our country.
For nearly a century, Northeastern has been dedicated to the education of our nation's veterans and service members, with a goal of recognizing military service and rewarding that service with opportunity.
Northeastern's Center for the Advancement of Veterans and Servicemembers (CAVS) is dedicated to helping veterans achieve their educational and career aspirations. Led by Air Force Veteran Andy McCarty, CAVS aims to eliminate the gap between education and employment.
Half of all U.S. veterans face a period of unemployment after transitioning from military service, and for younger veterans that number is even higher. Your support of veterans funds at Northeastern will allow CAVS to achieve its goal of increasing student veteran employability and assisting with the often difficult transition to civilian life.
A U.S. Navy destroyer collided with a Philippine container ship off the coast of Japan, resulting in the deaths of seven Navy sailors. Northeastern's News team spoke with Peter Boynton, chief executive officer and co-director of Northeastern's George J. Kostas Research Institute for Homeland Security.

It's an emergency – you can help.
If you have a medical emergency in Toronto's west end, chances are you'll go to St. Joseph's Health Center. Our expert teams are on hand 24/7, 365 days a year to care for everyone who needs urgent medical care
St. Joe's is one of the busiest and one of the fastest. Among the top 10 busiest emergency departments in Toronto, St. Joe's ranks number one in speed of getting assessed by a physician.
Emergency visits annually
Pediatric emergency visits every year
The number of hospitals in Hamilton that care for the same number of people as St. Joe's
Fastest time to see a physician
"People often ask why so many people go to St. Joe's emergency. It's because despite our often crowded conditions, we have a reputation for outstanding emergency care that is fast, expert and compassionate."
Maria Dyck President and CEO, St. Joseph's Health Centre
Your help is urgently needed
St. Joe's has one of the busiest emergency departments in Toronto. Last year, our Emergency Department had 100,000 visits, yet it was only built for 60,000 annual visits. That's an emergency.
That's why we continue to raise funds to make the facility better match the care. Government funding won't cover the full cost of modernizing and upgrading the emergency department. We need help from our west-end neighbours to make a new emergency department a reality.
You can help people who need our most urgent care
The modernized Emergency department will provide patients with greater comfort, more privacy and better protection from infection. Plus a new layout will further improve efficiencies so that patients receive even faster care.
Our generous donors have funded dramatic improvements throughout St. Joe's. For example, the CIBC Just for Kids Clinic, the Bachir Yerex Family Dialysis Centre, and Mental Health Emergency Services Unit were all made possible because of donors.
Now we need your help to improve emergency. Please join with your west-end neighbours to help St. Joe's keep the promise of meeting the emergency needs of our community.

by Gary Groob | Jun 23, 2020 | Lacrosse, NLL
The twelfth installment of Legends of the Game is from the "Legends of our Game" magazine from 1993, put together by the Committee of OLA Jr. "A" governors.
This article is on Brian Bellows.
Brian had a short but impressive lacrosse career. Don Baker, a respected lacrosse player and minor coach, was quoted in 1976 as saying, "Brian Bellows is the best minor lacrosse player I have ever seen."
Brian was captain and leading scorer of two Canadian Championship teams. In 1976 he was on the Peewee team which won the Nationals in St. Catharines and in 1978 the Bantam team which won the Nationals in Thompson, Manitoba. The Peewee team lost only one game, while the bantams played 50 games and went undefeated in a perfect season. Brian was a tremendous leader, dedicated to improving himself and the team.
Like so many of our games great players, Brian also was a two sport star and this caused his lacrosse career to be cut short. To this day he still says that if he could have made a living playing lacrosse he would still be playing.
Brian has a trophy in St. Catharines named after him for minor lacrosse and has done promotional work to benefit lacrosse. He was also the first NHL player to lend his name to the World Field Lacrosse Championships in Toronto.
Brian's hockey career has been no less spectacular. He has used many of his earlier athletic skills to have a long and productive National Hockey League career. Truly a Legend of the Game.
*Of note…
Brian was drafted 2nd overall in the 1982 NHL draft. His career lasted from 1982-1999 playing for five NHL teams, amassing 485 Goals, and 537 assists in 1188 games.
